Day 02
_______________________________________
U-202 Log Book
We started the diesels about 7 hours ago and have been running on the surface through the night. Brest is about 120km astern of us at this point. I expect we should enter the Shipping lanes of the Keltische See within 18 to 20 hours. Crew is eager and optimistic about enemy contact there. I have posted my best watch crew in order to addres the possibility of encountering enemy aircraft in the Biscay crossing. Weather is cooperating so far and we are making good speed. Last nights crash dive results were excellent, the crews respons put the boat clearing periscope depth within 23 seconds. It will be at least lunch time before we can test the boat in deep water.
